LyicsJESUS, the spring of joys divine,
Whence all our hopes and comforts flow-
Jesus, no other name but thine
Can save us from eternal wo.
In vain would boasting reason find
The way to happiness and God,
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewilder'd in a dubious road.
No other name will heaven approve;
Thou art the true, the living way,
Ordain'd by everlasting love
To the bright realms of endless day.
Here let our constant feet abide,
Nor from the heavenly path depart:
O let thy Spirit, gracious Guide!
Direct our steps and cheer our heart.
Safe lead us through this world of night,
And bring us to the blissful plains-
The region of unclouded light,
Where perfect joy forever reigns.
